Find examples that fit a new Notion view
Get a few relevant workflow conversations after shaping a new way to see your work.
Trigger
View Created
Triggers when a new Notion view is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload includes `data.view_type` (`table`, `board`, `gallery`, `calendar`, `list`, `timeline`, `gantt`) and `data.parent` pointing at the view's tree parent (typically the teamspace), so customers can filter downstream.

Why this helps
Creating a useful view can lead to more browsing when a founder is looking for ways to improve the workflow behind it.
- Find a small number of discussions related to the view's purpose.
- Learn about related tools and practices without broad browsing.
- Make a new workflow easier to refine.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Hacker News to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or describe the outcome to Notis conversationally.
- 3Tell Notis to find recent Hacker News posts about workflows or tools related to a newly created Notion view; select View Created and a run-report channel.
- 4Create one real view and review the resulting examples.
Questions about this workflow
What information does the view trigger provide?
It includes the view type and its parent, which can help Notis understand its context.
Can the search be limited to a particular teamspace?
Ask Notis to use the available view context and keep the result focused on the view's apparent purpose.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Hackernews. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Hackernews actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get Hackernews Frontpage

Comment Created
Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.
Get Hackernews Today Posts
Get today's posts from hacker news.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Get Hackernews User
Get a specific user from hacker news using their username.
Database Created
Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.

Data Source Created
Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.
Data Source Schema Updated
Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.
